Secret Ninja Movie Club (aka what have you watched lately)

[meanmrcustard]

watched 35 Shots of Rum yesterday. French/German film about the relationships between 4 people living in a Paris apartment block. Really really great film. Watching these relationships develop as the film progresses is done really well, and the film doesn't really 'get in the way'; there isn't a conventional plot and the film just observes the lives of it's characters, it's very subtle and doesn't hold your hand.

Highly recommend.

i can't believe this movie exists. no shit i haven't heard of it before.

[knell]

yeh i suppose, i guess i'm just bitter that i watched the trailer first and it practically gave away the entire movie...

anyway, i watched this earlier:
Mask Maker (2011)

7.5/10

the reason i score it so high is because it's really really well done for a straight-to-DVD horror movie. it's not torture porn and actually puts effort into being creepy and having a storyline

yea i watched this... based on your lil review
i want my hour and a half back

i did warn you that it was straight to dvd

Overstatement of the century.

[deadly_habit]

oh god, a few pages back there's a rant from me about this movie... would actually be decent without all the goofs and plot holes...

the ending actually is pretty good, but seriously, fuck that movie

[christophera]

the nines is incredibly awesome though. i dunno if i really made that clear.

[knell]

gonna watch it now, surprised i've never even heard of it before

[knell]

Just finished watching

The Nines
7.9/10

definitely deserves more credit than the IMDB score gives it... really clever and well done... original and provoking. not a fan of Ryan Reynolds but he's a decent actor and fits the movie...

biggest surprise for me was that Melissa McCarthy is the cousin of Jenny McCarthy... woaw 0_o
